Sat, 21 Mar 2015 19:28:03 +0000http://blogs.princeton.edu/blogit/?p=290#comment-64379I took my PhD at Notre Dame and Jim’s course in information theory was the best I took there—indeed, I still reference my notes from that course some 51 years later. This suggests that Jim’s scholarship was fundamental, lucid, and concise; attributes surely rare today. A rare man I was fortunate to know.

Sun, 07 Sep 2014 21:01:21 +0000http://blogs.princeton.edu/blogit/?p=356#comment-37636Thanks Paul. Another important reference is “On Set Coverings in Cartesian Product Spaces” by Ahlswede.http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F11889342_58#page-1
In particular, it implies that the solution to Thm 9.2 in Csiszar-Korner (and hence the second term in the new result) can be simplified to which can be solved via linear programming.

U=2*U1 ;
X1=2*(U1+U2+ …+U20) ;
X=(X1-mean(X1))/std(X1);
Y=0.1*X+W1;
V=0.9*Y+0.1*W2;

Sat, 22 Mar 2014 05:11:10 +0000http://blogs.princeton.edu/blogit/?p=165#comment-16513Just curious, what would the implications be if this conjecture is true?

Mon, 03 Mar 2014 16:18:07 +0000http://blogs.princeton.edu/blogit/?p=165#comment-15074No, it is not solved yet. However, I recently gave a talk on the conjecture at the 2014 International Zurich Seminar on Communications. The paper should be available on my website shortly.

[I have received several emails inquiring about the status of the conjecture, so I have added a comment at the top of the post to advertise the status. I will update it if the status changes.]
